"If There is a Country That has Committed Unspeakable Atrocities in the World, it is the United States"

In the same way that the war investing industry owned corporate conglomerate media cartel has for forty-four years blacked out all mention of Martin Luther King Jr.’ condemnation of US atrocity wars and covert genocide on three continents in maintenance of unjust predatory investments, does this criminal media black out Nelson Mandela’s denunciation of US genocidal atrocities and his love and appreciation of Fidel Castro for sending Cubans to successfully fight against murderous racist military in southern Africa and for Gadaffi’s aid and support of the ANC fighting Apartheid.

There was a crack in the ten year suppression of Mandela’s strong words for the US back in 2003:

“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America……they don’t care for human beings.” Nelson Mandela said, speaking at the International Women’s Forum.

“What I am condemning is that one power, with a president who has no foresight and who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust. Why does the US behave so arrogantly? Their friend Israel has got weapons of mass destruction. But because it’s their ally they won’t ask the UN to get rid of them.”

FURIOUS. Nelson Mandela yesterday charged President Bush with risking a holocaust for the sake of Iraqi oil.

Mr Mandela declared: “It is a tragedy what Bush is doing in Iraq. All he wants is Iraqi oil. We must expose this as much as possible. He is making the greatest mistake of his life by trying to cause carnage.”

He was equally damning about Tony Blair, sneering: “He is the foreign minister of the United States. He is no longer Prime Minister of Britain.”

The Nobel prize winner and former South African president also said Bush “cannot think properly”, accused the US and Britain of undermining the UN and suggested they were racist.

He told a conference in Johannesburg: “What I am condemning is that one power, with a president who has no foresight and who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust.

Mr Mandela suggested the two leaders would not be treating the UN with such contempt if the organization had a white leader.

He said: ”Both Bush and Tony Blair are undermining an idea (the UN) sponsored by their predecessors.

“Is this because the Secretary General (Kofi Annan, from Ghana) is now a black man? They never did that when Secretary Generals were white…

The world statesman went on to launch a withering attack on America’s human rights record.

Referring to the US wartime atom bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagaski, he said: “Because they decided to kill innocent people in Japan, who are they now to pretend they’re the policeman of the world?

Mandela said U.S. President George W. Bush covets the oil in Iraq. “What Bush wants is to get hold of that oil.”

He went on to appeal to the American people to vote Mr Bush out of office and protest at his policies.

Receiving applause for his comments, Mandela said Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are “undermining” past work of the United Nations.

“They do not care. Is it because the secretary-general of the United Nations is now a black man?” said Mandela, referring to Kofi Annan, who is from Ghana.

Nobel Peace Laureate Mandela, 84, has spoken out many times against Bush’s stance, and South Africa’s close ties with Libya and Cuba irked Washington during Mandela’s presidency.”

After being released from prison in 1990, one of the first things Nelson Mandela did was visit Cuba to express his admiration and respect for Cuban leader Fidel Castro. “You trained our people, gave us resources, helped so many of our soldiers, our doctors, said Mandela, embracing Fidel in Havana.
